Charles l.. Lynch has been citi-
zen of Alpena since 1866. He was
born in ST. Clair county, this State,
March 21st, 1850. He worked at the
numbering business for several years.
In 1885 he was elected Alderman
from the Second ward, and in Novem-
Der, 1886, he was elected sheriff OF
this county. He had previously act
ed as under-sheriff, under sheriff j
L. Denton. During the time he serv-
ed as sheriff he proved very popular
and gained public confidence. He
possessed the qualities that made 9
first class sheriff, being brave, cool
selfpossessed and not easily excited. Ht
had hosts of friends, who regret his
untimely death. Being member o.

Weather Signals.

The following general order from
the War Department, Washington,
in regard to the new weather signals,
explains their meaning.
In view of the fact that the resolu-
ton of February 8, 1870, under which
this service was organized, contemplate
ed the announcement of the probable
force as well as the advance of storms,
the Chief Signal Officer has decided
to display signals with view to dis
tinguish between light and severe
storms, and with the intention of
showing whether the storm-center has
reached or passed the display station,
as well as the probable direction from
which severe winds are expected.
To adapt the signals to the varying
interests of the maritime community,
the new system will take into consid-
Grafton the fact that westerly winds
of high velocity with clearing wealth.
er are less dangerous than those from
easterly quarters with freezing wealth.

Along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
and on the great lakes, from Sep. 1
1887, there will be displayed, as storm
conditions may demand, day signal,
of two kinds:
LIST. A stationary signal, yellow
flag with white centre, will indicate
that the winds expected are not so Sc
we're but well-found and seaworthy
vessels can meet them without great
danger.

red flag with a Black centre, will in
dictate that the storm is expected to
be of more marked violence.

act information as possible regarding
the relative position of the storm and
the winds expected, two pennants will
be displayed. A red pcnnant will in
dictate that the winds are to be easter
ly, that is, from northeast to south,
inclusive, and that the storm-centre is
approaching. The white pennant will
indicate westerly winds, that is, north
to southwest, inclusive, and that the
storm-centre has passed. While il is
intended that the pennant shall indi'
cate positively only whether the winds
will be easterly or westerly, yet, in
order to give more definite informa'
ton, the red or easterly pennant will
be displayed above the cautionary oil
storm signal for winds from the north
east quadrant, and below for winds
from the southeast quadrant. In like
manner, the white pennant, while in
dicating westerly winds alone. will
show by its position above the caution
airy or storm signal that northwesterly
winds are probable, or by being be-
low that they will be from the south
west quadrant.
In view of the difficulty of varying
night signals, they will not distinctive
ly show the force, but indicate the
wind-direction only; red light for
easterly winds, and red and white
light for westerly winds.

The Pioneer did not have much to
say about President Cleveland last
week. 1t probably ran out of am
munition, or else it was under the i'm
preston that it would not do to slaught-
err the President too quick. That's
right. The President has done such
good work for the benefit of the tax
payers, who contribute the necessary
funds for paying the expenses of the
government, that it is best he should
remain in power longer-at least for
the next five years. The most of the
national expenses are paid by labor
ing men whose incomes do not, on an
average, exceed, $400 per year, and
we are glad this country has a President
who recognizes the fact that the bur-
dened taxpayer is entitled to consid-
Grafton. The Pioneer will probably
let itself loose again before long, and
howl at the President, because he re-
fused to sign a bill which was to give
a pension of $12 per month to men
who we're not wounded in the service,
or suffered disabilities, and many
thousands of whom only served a
few months, and never saw battle.
That is what the Republican papers
mean when they accuse the President
of abusing the soldier. 1t is good to
have President who labors for the
interests of the people, and may he
always have consideration for those
who bear the heavy burdens of ma
tional taxation.
